It looks like all of the pressure opponents of the SOPA bill have been applying is making a difference.
Representative Lamar Smith, the congressman who introduced the highly contested bill, announced today that one of the most controversial provisions in the bill will be removed.
His office released a statement .that read, "After consultation with industry groups across the country I feel we should remove Domain Name System Blocking from the Stop Online Piracy Act so that the Committee can further examine the issues surrounding this provision."
This means that Reddit or Facebook cannot have their domain name blocked simply because one of their users is accused of stealing IP.
It's a major victory -- if the final bill truly reflects this change. However we think readers should note that this likely means he didn't have the votes to get it out of the U.S. House Judiciary Committee unless he amended the bill to ease the concerns of other committee members who may be facing tough re-election campaigns.
Pay attention to the version of the bill that leaves the House floor, if one makes it that far.
This was released on the Friday before a three day weekend after all...

A petition challenging LEGO Group's recent advertising campaign of its Friends product line is gaining steam faster than a youngster building a skyscraper with the tiny plastic blocks.
In less than a month, the SPARK Movement and Powered by Girl petition has generated more than 42,000 signatures and plenty of commentary, with allegations lobbed at LEGO for taking a sexist approach in developing and marketing its Friends product line.
SPARK and Powered by Girl are calling on LEGO to "go back to advertising and offering all LEGO to boys and girls."
At the center of the controversy is the use of short-shirted girl figurine characters with loads of pink and other pastel coloring in both marketing materials and the product line.
One parent named Susan James says on the petition blog site:
Because I am girl who played with LEGOs and I became an engineer. When I was growing up, they weren't boy or girl toys. They just were toys for everyone. Maybe if you showed more girls playing with your toys you wouldn't have to resort to the lame girl sets.
LEGO, meanwhile, is fighting back, rather than watch its work on Friends crumble. In a statement Thursday, the company had this to say:
We want to correct any misinterpretation that LEGO Friends is our only offering for girls. This is by no means the case. We know that many girls love to build and play with the wide variety of LEGO products already available. LEGO Friends joins this global collection of products as yet another theme option from which parents may choose the best building experience for their child's skill and interest.
We listen very carefully to the opinions and input that people share. We will continue to do so as we develop the LEGO brand to deliver the best experiences with the strongest appeal, and we will review our communications to ensure that we represent LEGO play for all children. We are proud to have developed a collection that is receiving positive feedback and reviews from parents and children who are now trying it at home, and we hope that we will engage even more girls in the skill-developing experience of LEGO play.
The hordes of parents who made LEGO what it is today by buying its products will, in the end, be the ultimate judge of whether the move to introduce and market Friends was a wise one. And it will become clear, not brick by brick, but rather dollar by dollar.

Slot machine company International Game Technology is buying Double Down Interactive, a Facebook app developer that makes a virtual casino game, for $500 million paid over three years, The Wall Street Journal Reports.
That's one heck of a price tag for an app company that only has around 4.7 million monthly active users, according to AppData. But its main app is a virtual casino that plays slots, blackjack and poker.
We wrote recently that should Zynga enter online gambling with its 200-million-plus users, it would represent at least a billion-dollar opportunity. Some recent changes in laws could open the door for online gambling games on platforms like Facebook, which represents a golden opportunity for the now-public social gaming company.
If gambling companies are already starting to buy up Facebook app companies, that means time is already running out for Zynga to apply the same first-mover advantage it used to become the dominant app developer on Facebook.
